Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?

[mclaincausey]

@Gulliver I’ve had that thought and even though I’m a gentile I like it

[Mizmazzle]

Wasn’t a fan when I first got into this scene. Now I barely even notice almost all my shirts have it.

[Gulliver]

@mclaincausey likewise.

[doubletee]

Never crossed my mind either way to stay or cut off

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle I was the opposite. I was seriously prejudiced against shirts without it. Now I’m indifferent

[popvulture]

I love it, always have. It's admittedly weird, but charming.

[goosehd]

@popvulture x2. Don’t know how to explain it nor really care to do so. Just makes me happy.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mizmazzle yup! I’ve cut some off and now don’t bother. My friends at work do bother though, and regularly try and rip them off as I pass by because it bugs them. I couldn’t care less if they succeed.

The first quality shirt I bought with chain run got cut because I didn't realise it was on purpose.

@popvulture “weird but charming” nicely sums it up

[Brandrea]

It’s a nice detail that I appreciate. I like to leave everything as it was intended from the factory. YMMV.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@Nik same here

Same here.

[motojobobo]

I never learned to appreciate them…I snip them off as soon as I get my hands on the shirt. Before the first wear.

[popvulture]

@motojobobo haha that immediately conjured a mental “noooooooo!” from me.

[motojobobo]

@popvulture jajajajaja. Cheers buddy.

[Boit]

I save mine in this little dish! Not sure why?…and what I may do with it? Maybe I’ll cast ‘em in clear epoxy?

[long_john86]

@Boit cool stuff!

[Eza]

I love them and its one of those things if you know you know. If someone asks or tells me I have a thread hanging I simply say no it's the chain-stitch runoff and it binds the universe together...

[SKT]

I would love to leave the runoff but my ocd will not abide. I’m the same with any stray string or fuzz or something I feel is “out of place”. Ironic too because the runoff is a perfect example of IH’s attention to detail that makes me such a fan.
